Invisible Enemy outlines how "colorblind" approaches to discrimination ensured the perpetuation of racial inequality in the United States after the 1960s, and how this in turn necessitated further struggles on behalf of black rights in the post-civil rights era.

Invisible Enemy outlines how "colorblind" approaches to discrimination ensured the perpetuation of racial inequality in the United States after the 1960s, and how this in turn necessitated further struggles on behalf of black rights in the post-civil rights era. The book examines the hidden forms of racism that survived beyond the 1960s, highlighting their impact on black Americans as well as on American politics and society as a whole. It describes the various forms of black activism -- ignored in many histories of the freedom struggle -- that continued at both national and local levels. The final chapter conceptualizes the post-1960s freedom movement as part of a global struggle for justice in response to the spread of free market capitalism around the world in the late twentieth century. In an approach that aims to deepen readers' awareness of the nature of the nation's racial problems, de Jong emphasizes that racism must be understood historically, as the product of specific laws and policies that ensured an unequal status for African Americans. Invisible Enemy illuminates the complexities of modern racism and enhances our understanding of the struggles for racial equality and social justice.
